Bold, Blunt, and Entirely too Honest!

We all know the age old saying that; Honesty is the best policy.

But, is it really true?

I have been told many times that I am a bold and blunt person. I am constantly told that no one ever worries about how I feel or think about something because I am going to speak my mind about it weather they want to know it or not.

That being said, there have been many times in my life where I have been brutally honest and have had to be bold and blunt about something, and it always back fires on me.

If honesty is the best policy, why is it that this happens? I try my best to do what I feel is right to those around me and it always bites me in the rear.

So I have been going through a rough time lately, as many of you know. And in the last few days, life has become even more daunting.

You see, I was starting a new relationship with a wonderful guy. And I don't want anyone to get upset with him because of what I am about to say, because I understand where he is coming from.

Every time I have started a relationship, and things are going well, I struggle with when to mention what could quite possibly be a HUGE deal breaker. And in the past when I have shared this, the guy has ended the relationship. So I am always hesitant to share this very venerable personal piece of my life.

HOWEVER, this does not mean that I am not open to talk about it, because I am way too bold and blunt. ;)

So, some people may disagree with my timing but before a relationship gets too serious and before feelings can get too involved I drop my "deal breaker".

I tell who ever it is that I simply cant have kids, and maybe if I talk about it on here it won't be a huge shock for people later.

People have asked me why I decide to tell the person so early and the reason is this; In relationships it is not you can hurt the person or not hurt the person. It is however, I can hurt this person a little bit or I can hurt this person a lot. I would rather rip off a band-aid and have it sting for a short time, then to cut open a scare and have it bleed for a prolonged amount of time. But the biggest reason, is because I simply don't want to get hurt anymore than is necessary.  So, I get it done and over with as soon as possible, because if I am going to get hurt, I'd rather it be a band-aid.

As you can imagine, telling the guy didn't the way I was hoping. Not to say that he is a terrible person, because he isn't. I will defend him and his choices. I do condemn him for his choice, it is a hard hurdle for anyone to jump over. The first few times they will fall and they also might not be able to clear it. And, that is okay. Who am I to judge for what is important to him? I cannot and I will not.

It has just become incredibly difficult to be able to open up to people anymore. And it is not because I am cold and bitter, it is simply because I don't want to go through anymore pain and sorrow. I am not generally a touchy feely person in the first place so I don't tend to share how I feel about things so when I do it and it back fires it hurts that much more.

I don't know why I decided to write about this, none of you really need to know my problems. But I personally needed it I guess.

Whatever you take away form this please do not think badly about the guy, and don't judge him. He truly is I amazing and is a sweetheart.

Who You'd be Today

Howdy,

The past few weeks have been quite an interesting journey for me. Actually, make that the past 4 months.  I have felt more emotions in those months than I have in the last few years.

It all started when I made the decision to go to the Temple for my church and make covenants with God. This was a life changing moment for me, and it was the easiest one I have ever made.

That being said, I didn't know how much it was going to impact me emotionally. Some things happened during the few months leading up to me going to the temple that I never would have expected to happen...

Let me back up just a bit and explain quickly what the temple is and why we, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, have Temples.

We believe that temples are the house of the Lord, and are the most sacred places on Earth. In temples we perform sacred and holy ordinances and make covenants, promises, with the Lord. These ordinances and covenants are what bind families together for ever. We not only do these things for ourselves, but by proxy for those who have already passed. It has been said that "occasionally in the Temple the veil between us and those on the other side becomes very thin" I know that this is true and that when we do work in the temple for those who have passed on they are with us.

If you have more questions about the temple and want to know more please feel free to ask.

Now you are up to speed...So I as I was preparing to go to the temple I had a mental and emotional break down. This happened about 2-3 weeks before and it was bad. I had completely fallen apart and it was because of one person, Brian.

Brian was and is one of the best people I have ever met. He was my best friend in the time that I knew him and on April 6th, 2010 he passed away due to cancer. I miss him dearly, and when I was having my break down I wasn't sure why I was having such a hard time with it.

I have generally gotten to where the pain of missing him doesn't hit me as much and I can be happy that he is no longer here. But that particular night in November, all I wanted was my best friend back so I could talk to him about all of my concerns and hardships.

This hasn't gotten any easier since then, and I am not sure why. I have guesses that its because a lot of our milestones as friends happened between September and April but that's all I got.

I often find myself wondering who he's be today if the cancer had never come back. I am sure that he would have served a mission for our church, and the Lord. He would have finished his degree and became an animator. He would have found an amazing girl to love and marry, and he would have been an AMAZING father!

But sadly, death tore the pages away of a story that hadn't even begun yet.

Some people tell me that his death shouldn't be hard on me, but it always will be. He meant too much to me for it to not matter.

I would not be who I am today, if it weren't for him, and I am grateful for that.
